That's five spinnakers, a "shadetree", two sewing machines and Robert in the backyard of Linda's house - it is the new stitch and bitch society. Robert did the wand holders for the shade fabric while I stitched what felt like endless seams. This, we can remember when in warm tropical places and are cooled by this structure. It stands with the help of the wands from the lifelines and allows the wind to come through - we hope - also is tent fabric and in a pinch, we could use it to collect water. We are blessed to have a friend such as Linda who opens her house and heart to the hooligan family - hair all over the place from Koa and Shaash,who allows us to work on the big projects in her space.
The next photo is of Jack, who has had a shoulder replacement, two knee replacements, a hip replacement and has prostate cancer. He was delighted when he found he could still climb masts. He is going deer hunting in Idaho before his prostate surg. - very quiet, unassuming guy. yet he went up our 60' mast with us winching. Well, Robert and a neighbor. And then there is Jeff, who took a diagram, made another and installed a work of art for the head, so we don't have to go two blocks to save SFO Bay. And Bridget and Dave, who put up the sail cradle and screwed brass closers - we are blessed. So, we get by, with a little help from our friends.
